CHRISTMAS TREE BALLS

Hi everyone, Christmas is almost here and I was wondering how to decorate my home, so I went for these 100% handmade decorations. So I created these Christmas tree balls making three different types of them, so easy and so beautiful!

Round balls:

1. Cut the stripes as you prefer, depending on which dimension you want them to be. The number of the stripes depends on the width of each stripe. I've used 10 stripes of 2,5x14 cm for the bigger one and 11 stripes 2x12cm for the smaller one, cut from *Pastel Strawberry* cardstock. Then I've embellished them with the star from the *Forever green* stamp set.

2. Make the holes on both sides of each strip.

3. Put together all the stripes with two brads.

4. Decorate every ball as you like! Have fun!

Little balls and diamonds:

1. Cut 12 *Dashing circles* and 6 *Diamond tags* from the *Sweet Christmas* and *Pastel Strawberry* paper, at this point it is better to use both patterned and plain paper.

2. Fold every piece in the middle.

3. Put together the pieces to create the two different types of decoration.

4. Add a lace or something to hold them to the tree and decorate as you prefer!

Hope you like them and have fun making them for you and your present!

Until next time, Ona.
